I wrote this attached article to share my top 9 tips about online teaching for an audience of History & Philosophy of Science educators. It's called "You Can Teach Online! Designing effective and engaging online courses." It features the SOIRÉE "magic table" by Rachel Barnard. It was published in the Canadian Society for HPS' Communiqué newsletter in Autumn 2020 (p.42-44).

Recently, I have been working on how we might provide instruction in DEI principles to the students in our courses. Here is what I have come up with:
"Timely Team Tips: Stealthy DEI Instruction through Brief Animated Explainer Videos
Fostering Inclusive Practices within the Student Learning Teams Organized for My IAH Courses"

The recently created explainer videos above are now embedded into my online course modules for Week 3-Week 12 and are presented to students in the context of fostering student learning team “cohesion” (I have made to conscious decision to avoid the terms diversity, equity, and inclusion in most instances) during weekly collaborative assignments and three larger digital projects students are asked to complete as part of my currently asynchronous online courses.
Part of my thinking behind this project has been to help prepare students for professional life after graduation – think 21st century employability skills -- given the attention paid to DEI principles and practices within the business and corporate world. The information presented in these animated explainer videos is a synthesis of other information from many different academic and corporate sources online by the way. I take no credit for it other than in the way I present it to my students, using the Doodly app. The project is developing, so I anticipate adjustments as I continue the work.
When I move to a hybrid modality as we transition back to the physical classroom next fall (???), I plan to keep and retain all of the online materials developed during the last two years of the pandemic to better support, motivate, and engage the students in my (gen. ed.) courses, another ongoing project of long standing.
If ever you would like to talk in more detail about my ongoing work with this, just drop me a line. As difficult as the last couple of years have been for everyone, I have really enjoyed the turbo charged push forward it has provided when t comes to how I think about my courses, teaching, and related points here at MSU.

"Grief is the normal response of sorrow, heartache, and confusion that comes from losing someone or something important to you. Grief can also be a common human response after a disaster or other traumatic event. This tip sheet contains information about grief, the grieving process, and what happens when the process is interrupted and complicated or traumatic grief occurs. It also offers tips and resources for coping with both types of grief."
"Tips for Survivors: COPING WITH GRIEF AFTER A DISASTER OR TRAUMATIC EVENT" a 4-page PDF from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is attached.
This artifact is one of a collection of evidence-based resources for educators coming back to class after collective tragedy compiled by Spartans:

Ahead of our first meeting next week on September 30, I've been doing a bit of digging around and came upon two interesting resources from Dr. Monica Burns that combine EdTech with collaborative learning:
1) EdTech Fundementals: Tech-Friendly Models of Collaboration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB1dGk3BTO8
and
2) Class Tech Tips: All Things EdTech
https://classtechtips.com/
Interesting, perhaps useful, and certainly will help start our conversation when we meet next week.

Another interesting piece on Faculty Focus this morning that provides additional tips for [motivating] and engaging our students in class. I hope to try a few of these next fall when I return to the (hybrid) classroom. Hope you might find these tips useful in your own journey to motivate and engage undergrads.
Kind Regards,
Stokes
